Attached is a very thorough article on the security deposit law in California and a tenants rights if the landlord does not follow this law: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/sec-deposit.shtml Gail

Please review the attached: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/sec-deposit.shtml It appears that a landlord must make a move out inspection IF the tenant requests such. Did you make such a request to the landlord? Gail

Keeping the security deposit for damages above normal wear and tear and removing her early because you want her out sooner are two different things. As her landlord you can't evict anyone. Only a court can do that. It is quite likely that the time it would take for you to go through the...

In New York city the Attorney Generals office doesn't get to decide whether the deposit should be returned within 30 days. The courts are the ones who decide. It's confusing to be in a state where the security deposit is to be returned within a "reasonable amount of time". Some judges...

You need to decide what exactly you want to do. Break the lease and find another place to live that doesn't have these repair issues? Or sue...for what, by the way? Seems like the better choice would be to get out of there. Gail

Sure, you can attempt to evict him. It's more difficult when someone is paying their rent regularly but you do have the documentation that the police have had to be called on this tenant as evidence to present to the court to justify your attempting to evict him. However, sometimes it's...

If it were me, I'd pay what is owed and then turn around and sue the other partners. Better to be the plantiff in a lawsuit rather than the defendant. I agree on discussing this with an attorney. You would require one as such a lawsuit would be above the financial limitations for Small...

1. No, you are incorrect in assuming this. A states statutes overrides what a contract might say. For example, in a state where the status of the security deposit must be sent to the former tenant within, say, 30 days of vacating the rental, a lease might say management has 60 days. That...

Attached please review the steps needed to terminate a month to month tenancy in Ohio. This typically requires a written notice for such: http://www.ohiolandlordtenant.com/faq20.html Although you indicate the unit was rerented quickly, do you know when the lease for this new tenant...

See the post below.... I work in a medical center and complained that my own office was terribly hot during this miserable summer. I have a window and even after closing the between-pane blinds it still seemed miserable in the afternoon (that window faces west). The heat/air conditioning...

If Kansas is like Georgia (and most of the country) we're in the middle of a serious and unusual (even for the south) heat wave. Last month was the hottest June on record and it's looking like July will be the same. Most folks don't realize that central air conditioning units aren't made to...

Legally they don't owe you an explanation as to why they follow this policy. Gail

This is a different type of home inspection being discussed. Gail

Ask them what your options are in a situation like this. They may allow you to legally break your lease if you find a tenant to take your place. Gail

What was the length of time for the original lease? Why the move to a different apartment? How does this apartment differ from the first (i.e., size wise)? Gail

No, other than finding another place to live. Gail

When a rental property is sold, the current lease "rolls over" to the new owner. Unless the tenant agrees to move, the lease remains in effect until it would normally terminate. Quite frankly, it's very kind of you to offer to kick her out of her place of residence when (I'm assuming) she's...

Why is your landlord terminating your lease? Why do you wonder if you should have paid rent for July since you were living there at that time? Why do you believe your landlord might think you are responsible for the ceiling falling? Have you contacted your landlord regarding this ceiling...

Did your lease outline that there would be a late fee if the rent was sent/received after a certain date each month? Was the rent paid before this date? Do you have proof of this? Gail
